But not put away. I came down with some kind of flu and I don't have the energy to put it all away. The sewing machine was headed to my bedroom to encourage me to hem the curtains at last. So I'm not sure if this flu has done me a favour haha!
In the last post I had some strips leftover that I wasn't sure what to do with. I tried out a couple of options. This one where I rotated each alternate block was what I had in my head to do but it just looked too messy.
So I tried just stacking the blocks and liked it.
Ta da!
I used up all the purple strips to make a baby quilt the same way as the pinks I'd previously made.
After all of that sewing I STILL had a pile of scraps! There were a lot of pinks so I removed most of those.
And made this quilt which is bigger than the usual stillborn baby size but I figured there would be babies that need it anyway.
I did consider putting all the pinks into one quilt but they just didn't seem to match.
So I added white fabric and made five stillborn baby quilts.
It was a very productive living room retreat. I made 10 quilt tops of different sizes, 11 stillborn baby quilt tops and two cushion panels. Now I need to quilt it all but would you believe it? My tablet that runs the quilting machine has died and I'm continually playing catch up with the US company because of the time zones between us which is very frustrating!
